Nothing "fishy" here. In fact, it all smells wonderful! Behind the bottles of fine scents, there are several game offerings going...
Bookworm Deluxe, http://www.popcap.com/games/bookworm/online. The free demo gives a good idea of the way the game is played. Since you are making the words, it can be a good review for any vocabulary. In fact, some teachers have students score separately how many of their spelling words they can find in the game.
PLEASE NOTE: The game specified here is Bookworm, which is a language arts game. Not just any PopCap game will do. (Especially do not use Plants and Zombies, for which I believe PopCap has a version. Popular as it may be, I do not think it has immediately obvious educational value. - GameMaster.)
Furious Frogs, http://www.arcademicskillbuilders.com. This particular quest is looking for Language Arts games, although Arcademics may offer other types of games. For this Quest, only review a Language Arts game.
This Quest requires that you try out at least 2 games from these three sources. You may wish to try all, and that is fine, as well. For your Quest write-up (worth up to 5XP total) you are expected to name at least two games (and its source if it is an Arcademic game), clearly describe how each works, and discuss how you might use these games in a classroom assignment. Quest title: "Bookworm, Frogs, Chihuahua"
